The pubs and clubs are open till dawn, any anyone can drink to excess at will.
But smoke a fag in the wrong place and one is nearly arrested.

Hear hear Leon.
Unfortunately people are becoming increasingly self focused and dont take actions and be responsible for their own behaviour.
Alcohol and ciggies are our two biggest killers, and yet Govt makes a fortune through taxes and the like (the same for gambling). All three are shown to be extremely addictive as well. Time for Govt to be responsible for all the "sin taxes" they collect rather than for the lot to all go into "consolidated revenue".
